The Civil War was not just a time for battles, but life continued on before, during and after. Many jobs at that time were done by an individual or a small factory, and other positions were newly created during the 1860's due to necessity. We have compiled a small list of occupations for research and study, to hone as a persona to present at reenactments, and to help those new to reenacting to narrow the research field. This is certainly not a complete list, for there are many other occupations that are not listed. We encourage our members to learn all they can about topics that best suit them.
